The NRA just sent me a DVD, which I have to return if I'm not interested (I won't).

What a lousy, shameful way to market the cause.

Well, I have been a member for years and haven't had a DVD sent. Not saying they won't do it. I did find it easy this year to call them and have them place me on their 'do not promote list' maybe you ought to try that.

Signed up earlier this month, myself, my lady, and my 21 month old daughter. All confirmed by a card I recieved in the mail telling me I got a gift membership to the NRA. When I signed up my daughter, InSight was not an option for a magazine, I hope I can change that after the membership packet arrives.

I signed up my 9 year old and 10 month old. Insights is a digital magazine only. So now I get all three NRA magazines and my others get insights emailed.

No, i upgraded to Benefactor and part of the packet included a page where you could sponsor 6 new life members for the 300 dollars. I ended up calling them and getting it done over the phone though. As a new life member, everyone should be able to call or they should get the same sheet in the mail with their membership package.

Hey Curtis, when did you get the card and when did you sign up online? If you posted the dates here it would help me out as I get alot of PMs to this effect.

I am kinda interested as well, as I signed up two of my boys on 4-27 and haven't got anything in the mail yet.

Robert, sorry I didn't follow this thread closer. I got the post card notice about 2 weeks after I signed up. I didn't have a membership number to check online, so I called to verify all was good. I'm still waiting for the lifetime membership package. They said they were behind due to a membership push. I signed up for the Life Membership on April 6th.

Looking at some of the other posts, I need to check with my wife. She has a habit of tossing the NRA, ASCE, and some other junk mail stuff in the trash.

Edited to Add: checked the mail and got my package. For ZNinerFan below, I think its a tie tack. I will say, the certificate is nicer than my engineering license (but that isn't actually saying a lot...the PE paperwork sucks). The stickers are outstanding!

4/21 - Signed up for the lifetime that should upgrade myself and add my wife as a new member.
4/25 - Just checked with member services and it shows the expiration date of my member ship as 2032 and still a regular anuual member.

I would have added my kids but the birth date option didn't allow for their ages.

Wow, y'all are doin good. Still waiting for a son's packet. I signed him up on 4/24/12. I do not know the method behind the madness. To those on the fence, unless they have stepped things up, you can potentially expect up to a 5 week wait. These one week turnarounds are the exception I think.

BTW calguns, you have crossed the 60 mark.
